air london & Friends at Electric Pickle, Miami – March 22nd, 2011
Glimpse, Kate Simko, M A N I K, and more!
After a sell out WMC event in 2010 air london will return to the famed Electric Pickle for their third Miami showcase on March 22, 2011. The event will feature a selection of artists from the trans-Atlantic air london European and North American roster, with a live performance by Glimpse and DJ sets from Kate Simko, DVS1, Matt Tolfrey + Maher Daniel (B2B), M A N I K, Robert Dietz, Adam Shelton, Crazy Larry and more.
air london has had a remarkable twelve months, with showcases in New York City, fabric London and at the BPM Festival in Playa Del Carmen, as well as releasing six EPs on the air london label.. Their artist roster continues to grow, attracting burgeoning young talent and established names, from across America and Europe. In Miami air London will show off the vibrant, diverse and dedicated crew that makes it one of the most exciting collectives in dance music today.
2010 was a monumental year for Glimpse. His well-received debut artist album, ‘Runner,’ on Crosstown Rebels was lauded by international press, and was followed by a release on Cocoon, boosting an already impressive resume which includes Planet E, Cadenza and Buzzin’ Fly. Glimpse picked a hell of a stage to showcase his 909 live performance, the closing party of Space Ibiza, drawing world-wide attention to the unique analog style which he favors.
Kate Simko will be the head talent representing air london’s North American crew. Her DJ set will no doubt combine her unique and tantalizing take on Chicago House and Detroit Techno, a style she’s exhibited at venues as diverse as Fabric, MUTEK and DEMF. Expect to hear some tracks from her forthcoming album, ‘Lights Out,’ which will be released on Hello?Repeat in early April. The classically trained pianist’s original productions have garnered praise from the likes of URB, XLR8R, de:Bug and The Wire, and her new album is sure to draw more critical acclaim.
M A N I K has been on everyone’s radar lately, especially since Josh Wink picked him up for two EPs on his lauded Ovum label, and signed his debut artist album for release in March. A man with an eye for the details and a passion for his craft, expect him to take full advantage of the Miami stage, and prove himself as one of the best up and comers on the market.
DVS1 is one of America’s true musical connoisseurs, with a record collection 10,000 deep you know the man knows a thing or two about a groove. Championed by Berghain’s Ben Klock, his releases have graced Klock’s Klockworks label as well as Derrick May’s iconic Transmat. Further music is slated for release on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver label, Perc Trax, Synewave and Klockworks in the coming months. Having played venues like Fabric and Berghain, DVS1 will hit Miami with an apt house music set at Electric Pickle.
Expect to be seeing more of Crazy Larry in 2011. He has a new release, ‘Blind Licking,’ due on Hallucination this spring, and he will be launching his eagerly anticipated Time to Get iLL label with his release ‘Glacier’ in March!
